    I just watched a vid showing GGG and Canelo under attack in different fights and Canelo`s head movement was incredible, the fighter that clipped him the most in these clips was Mayweather another amazing fighter under pressure was Benitez, so who does anyone think is the top 10 fighters when under a constant fast attack, loads of combo`s etc.?

    ^ Toney is a great shout. Mayweather, Rigondeaux, Sweet Pea. I'm putting JMM out there as well.

    Which were Pee`s best fights showing him under fire for a sustained length, he always used great footwork to prevent himself from being under fire.

    Tyson in his prime was the best under fire imo.

    Pacquaio was pretty much at his best when an opponent tried to stick it on him. I remember thinking that Hatton was really taking it to him in the round which he ended up laying Ricky out cold.

    Marquez and Morales were also the first to come to mind...

    Maidana too maybe?

    I don't think he was the best at when it came to being under fire, but he was surely one of the most entertaining in those moments, and he was the first guy that jumped to mind when I saw the thread.

    I see what you mean....I was thinking about his ability to remain calm and defensively responsible when under fire but you're right, he mostly used good footwork to try and avoid this.

    JMM like a wounded beast was always his deadliest. Chino Maidana, Oscar Delahoya, Arturo Gatti, Orlando Salido. Bhops should get mad respect for the Echols fight, taking out a lethal puncher like Echols with only 1 arm, that was insane!
